Day eighteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m straying into unknown territory. I would not regard myself as a religious person but I have already done that bit. I have very little knowledge of any of the religious texts yet it was a book by AJ Jacobs called ‘The year of living biblically’ … Continue reading Religion
Quantum
Day seventeen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. The letter Q is always one of those difficult ones. What words in the English language could I use to convey something about handedness that begins with a Q? Quixotic perhaps but queer is definitely a not. What about Quidditch? Maybe I could weave some clever reference … Continue reading Quantum
Oh to be famous
Day fifteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. It seems that being famous is not the domain of the right handed. There are plenty of lefties out there who have gone on to do great things, so many in fact that there is a day set aside each year to celebrate their success.

Writing six blogs in a week takes that extra bit of effort, a twenty per cent productivity gain. April is also the month in which Easter … Continue reading Judgmental

Day nine of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’m now at number 990 and thinking about instinct. How much of what we do is instinctive? How much of what we think we think about before doing is a patterned behaviour which has been laid down across the millennia of human history? How many of the … Continue reading Instinct
A great day at the office
Tuesday 30th July was a great day at the office. I started and finished the day with a couple of strategically important meetings and I felt like I was moving the business forward. In between I had some other meetings and talked to some very interesting people but these only made the day good.But Tuesday … Continue reading A great day at the office
Stories born from adversity
We’ve been trying to use stories at work to set the tone, to highlight the positive things that we achieve and to encourage cooperation and integration across the various teams. It’s early days yet and we’ve only tried it a few time but already we’ve found that using positive stories creates a much more upbeat … Continue reading Stories born from adversity
